Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Both Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara readily agreed.

Nohara Rin cherishes the opportunity to join this team and is unwilling to slack off at all.

Even Kurenai Yuhi didn't take advantage of Yoruichi Yagami's affection for her and act recklessly. Instead, she was even more strict with herself and tried her best not to hold Yoruichi Yagami back.

This also relieved Yagami Yoruichi of a lot of trouble.

"We still have some time this afternoon. Let's go hand in our missions first, and then we'll train together." Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand and led the two girls toward the mission distribution center.

After successfully submitting the task voucher, you can receive your commission.

Yagami Yoruichi counted out the money and then casually distributed the portions to Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara.

As for Tsunade's 'commission for the team leader', since the teacher did nothing and would lose the money to the casino anyway, Yagami Yoruichi didn't hesitate to 'confiscate' it!

Just as she was about to leave, a voice called out to Yagami Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi-kun, did you just finish your mission?"

Chapter 131 Chunin, Choosing Hextech Again

"Senior Sakumo."

Yagami Yoruichi turned around and saw Hatake Sakumo, and quickly bowed.

Sakumo Hatake greeted Yoruichi Yagami and said with a smile, "Thank you for Kakashi's matter."

He was referring to Yagami Yoruichi reminding Hatake Kakashi to team up with Aburame Shimi.

Konoha has a limited number of available Jonin. If Yoruichi Yagami hadn't reminded Kakashi Hatake that he might not have been assigned a Jonin-level instructor without Shimi Aburame as a teammate.

The ninja academy students who graduated early this time comprised a total of twenty teams from all grades, but including the teams led by Yoruichi Yagami and Kakashi Hatake, only three teams had Jonin teachers leading them.

—The other team is the squad that Sarutobi Asuma belongs to.

The son of the Hokage naturally receives different treatment than ordinary people.

"I just happened to hear about it." Yagami Yoruichi knew that Hatake Sakumo already knew about it, so she didn't say anything more.

You should let others know what you've done for them, but there's no need to boast about it excessively.

Given Sakumo Hatake's character, he would naturally remember the favor that Yoruichi Yagami had done for Kakashi Hatake.

Yagami Yoruichi changed the subject, asking, "Sakumo-senpai, did you just return from a mission?"

"Yes, this mission is a bit tricky. Even Senior Gongdao was injured."

Sakumo Hatake didn't go into the details of the mission, vaguely mentioning it, and said, "I'll be taking a break for a while. If there's anything I can do to help, Yoruichi-kun, please don't hesitate to ask me."

"I will." Yagami Yoru nodded, chatted with Hatake Sakumo for a few more minutes, and then took his leave.

On her way out, Yagami Yoruichi kept thinking about her next plan.

Judging from the recent situation, Rin Nohara's strength improvement rate is not fast, but her talent in medical ninjutsu is quite high, and she is not far from mastering her first medical ninjutsu.

By summer at the latest, she will have mastered most of the relatively basic medical ninjutsu, which will barely qualify her as a qualified medical ninja.

Yoruichi Yagami was not surprised by this.

In the original work, Rin Nohara helped Kakashi Hatake complete his eye transplant surgery.

Yoruichi Yagami herself was a medical ninja, so she knew how difficult this surgery was.

Now, thanks to Yagami Yoruichi's influence, Nohara Rin has been exposed to medical ninjutsu earlier, and her future potential will only be higher.

However, in terms of combat ability, Nohara Rin's talent is only average.

Without any major opportunities, his maximum strength is only at the level of an ordinary Chunin.

This is also the ceiling for most ordinary ninjas.

Without special talent or extraordinary circumstances, one might remain a genin for life, or barely manage to rise to chunin.

"However, being weak is actually a good thing for me. Lowering the team's overall rating means I won't have to take on any overly difficult or dangerous missions. Although my teacher said I can decide which missions to take, I can't overestimate the limits of the Konoha leadership."

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to herself as she led Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin to the training grounds to continue their daily routine of training.

In the morning, we received a task and worked together to build rapport through a simple D-level mission.

In the afternoon, they trained together to improve their skills and combat experience.

They went home each night to study all the knowledge that might be useful when they went out on missions in the future.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the life of Yoruichi Yagami's squad was as regular as a precisely operating machine.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

In the Hokage's office, Yagami Yoruichi received the vest representing a Chunin from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time of year, Konoha holds the Chunin Exams twice a year, in late winter and late summer, which conveniently avoids the busiest period of the year.

The difficulty of the exam was far less than that of the Konoha 12 in the original work, and it was not jointly held with other ninja villages.

Basically, any genin with a bit of combat experience and whose theoretical knowledge isn't too weak can pass the exam to become a chunin.

After all, the losses in the Second Shinobi World War were too great, and Konoha urgently needed to promote a large number of ninjas to fill the gaps.

Regardless of whether their strength is sufficient, they should first raise their 'rank'. When taking on missions, sending a few Chunin to complete the mission sounds much better than sending a team of Genin, and it is also more likely to be accepted by the employer.

As for ninjas who are not strong enough and die in the mission, that's just their bad luck.

For ninja villages, lower-ranking ninjas are cannon fodder and consumables, not 'comrades'.

The process of the exam goes without saying; Yagami Yoruichi's strength has already reached the Kage level, and completing the Chunin Exams was no challenge for her.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew a thing or two about Yoruichi Yagami's strength; he was just going through the motions.

Yoruichi Yagami's real body didn't even go; she only sent a shadow clone, who easily passed the exam and became a Chunin.

After receiving the vest and headband representing my Chunin identity, the system popped up on time.

[Ding! Your class has been upgraded to: Konoha Chunin. Please select your Hextech enhancement.]

The Hextech tier this time is: Gold.

[Overflow: Your chakra consumption is doubled. The healing, shielding, and damage effects of your abilities are increased, based on your maximum chakra.]

[Qualitative Change - Prismatic Tier: Gain 1 random Prismatic Tier Enhancement Rune.]

[Shrink Engine: Gain Ability Haste and Movement Speed ​​when participating in enemy hero kills. Lose 65% of stacks upon death.]

All three Hextech are pretty good.

[Overflow] This Hextech ability can significantly increase Yoruichi Yagami's damage. Although it has the negative effect of doubling chakra consumption, with Yoruichi Yagami's chakra reserves, this side effect can be largely ignored.

Instead, it is based on 'Chakra Limit' to enhance the attack, healing, and shield effects of all skills, and the higher the Chakra Limit, the greater the amplification ratio.

Furthermore, [Overflow] and [From the Heart to the Entire Body] can form the [Archmage] synergy, which randomly reduces the remaining cooldown of another skill when casting any skill.

Yagami Yoruichi's current ninjutsu doesn't have a 'cooldown time' concept, but once more hero templates and hero skills are added, the [Archmage] synergy effect will be very powerful.

Some specific skill combinations can even achieve near-zero cooldown.

If you choose this Hextech, Yoruichi Yagami's offensive capabilities will be immediately and significantly improved. In addition, she will receive another buff in the future after acquiring more hero templates and hero skills.

As for [Qualitative Change - Prismatic Tier], it's a gambler's Hextech, randomly granting a Prismatic Tier Hextech.

If you're lucky, you might randomly get Hextech items like [Goliath], [Mad Scientist], or [Quest - Voglet's Wizard Hat], which will significantly increase the growth rate and cap of your attribute cycle.

At the same time, the number of Prism-grade attribute forging tools required for 'Infinite Growth' will be greatly reduced, which simply means saving tens of thousands of gold coins.

Even randomly getting Hextech items like [Jeweled Gauntlets] or [Giant Slayer] can greatly enhance your strength.

But if you're unlucky and randomly get a "Demon on Your Shoulder," then you're doomed.

This is a Hextech weapon that permanently deducts a percentage of health, regardless of whether you are in combat.

Although attacking enemies allows for rapid health regeneration, there need to be a sufficient number of enemies for Yoruichi Yagami to attack.

After a slight hesitation, Yoruichi Yagami abandoned the idea of ​​'taking a gamble' and continued to look at the third Hextech.

The "Shrink Engine" attribute gave Yoruichi Yagami some doubts.

Having activated the system for so long, Yagami Yoru had already determined the corresponding directions in reality for most of the attributes in the game through various tests.

For example, 'Skill Speed' in the game reduces the cooldown time of skills.

However, in reality, these correspond to 'chakra refining speed' and 'chakra circulation speed'.

In other words, the higher the 'Skill Speed' attribute, the faster you can refine chakra and cast ninjutsu.

This attribute is extremely helpful to any ninja.

However, there are a few attributes that Yagami Yoruichi is still unsure what makes them special.

One of these is 'movement speed'.

If it were simply about running fast like in the game, it wouldn't be entirely useless, but its value would obviously not be as high as in the game.

After all, increasing the 'Constitution' attribute also has the effect of increasing movement speed.

However, the Shrink Engine and Yoruichi Yagami's already possessed Soul Devourer Hextech are Hextech items under the Horned Dragon bond.

Two stacks of the [Horned Dragon] synergy will increase the stack accumulation speed by an additional 50%, and this applies to all Hextech units under the [Horned Dragon] synergy that are already active.

The stacking speed of both [Shrink Engine] and [Soul Devourer] is increased by 50%, which is a significant increase.

Killing two enemy ninjas grants the same boost as killing three.

If you can select Hextech items such as [Divine Power] or [Infinite Cycle] to increase the number of [Horned Dragon] synergy stacks, this effect will be further enhanced.

Yoruichi Yagami hesitated between [Overflow] and [Shrink Engine], unable to make a decision for a long time.

"[Overflow] has the greatest impact on my strength, but its growth potential is much lower than that of [Shrink Engine]."

"I have the Rui Tian Emperor template, which allows my spell power and chakra to grow infinitely. I don't have to worry about not having enough attack power. In the later stages, the benefits brought by [Overflow] are negligible."

"The 'Skill Speed' of the [Shrinking Engine] is related to how fast I can cast ninjutsu."

"And the movement speed... if it's extremely fast, even if reality and the game are different, it's still incredibly abnormal, like Minato Namikaze, whose mechanics are freakish."

"The only drawback is that the [Shrink Engine] needs to be stacked up gradually before it becomes effective, and killing 'minion' units doesn't count; it only works on 'heroes'. However, as the number of layers increases, it becomes stronger."

After hesitating for a while, Yoruichi Yagami made her choice: "I choose the [Shrinking Engine]!"
